• Heraldry

  Arms of Neville (Barons Bergavenny) quartering Warenne, De Clare, Despenser, and Beauchamp [George (Neville), 5th Lord Bergavenny, and Henry (Neville), 6th Lord Bergavenny] Quarterly: 1st, Gules on a saltire Argent a rose of the field barbed and seeded proper (NEVILLE, Lord Bergavenny); 2nd, chequy Or and Azure (WARENNE); 3rd, quarterly, 1st and 4th, Or three chevrons Gules (DE CLARE), and, 2nd and 3rd, quarterly Argent and Gules in the second and third quarters a fret Or over all a bend Sable (DESPENSER, Earl of Gloucester); 4th, Gules on a fess between six crosses crosslet Or a crescent Sable (BEAUCHAMP, Earl of Worcester). Sources: The stall-plate of George, 5th Lord Bergavenny, K.G., at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, (North Side, Stall 15) as recorded in Edmund H. Fellowes, The Knights of the Garter 1348-1939, With a complete list of the Stall-Plates in St. George's Chapel (London: S.P.C.K.), page 45; Burke's General Armory (London: Harrison, 1884), pages 62, 281, 727, 1077; Seal of Richard (Beauchamp), Earl of Worcester, affixed to Cardiff Inspeximus 20 April 1421, published in G. T. Clark (1910), Cartae et Alia Munimenta Quae ad Dominium de Glamorgancia Pertinent, volume 4 (Cardiff, 1910), Charters DCCCCLII–MCXCIV, pages 1486–88, "Charter no. MCXVI." Note: George Lord Bergavenny quartered the arms of Warenne, but not the arms of Fitzalan through whom he claimed the heraldic inheritance. His great-great-grandmother, Lady Joan Fitzalan, was eventually an heraldic heiress, on the death of her brother, the 12th Earl of Arundel. The rules of heraldry, as understood today, do not usually allow an earlier generation to be quartered while omitting the arms of the family through whom the former arms are claimed. Some quarterings of this period were evidently "cherry-picked" for certain reasons. In this case, Lord Bergavenny had inherited a half-share of the rape and honour of Lewes, which had descended to the Fitzalans as heirs general of the Warenne Earls of Surrey. His grandmother, Elizabeth Lady Bergavenny, had inherited the manors of Ditchling, Rodmell, Patcham, Rottingdean, Northease, and the vill of Iford, as well as several knights' fees.
